[An Nahar] A Syrian national has been tossed in the slammerYez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! at Beirut’s Rafik Hariri International Airport as he was trying to smuggle 20,000 Captagon narcotic pills to Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... , Leb’s National News Agency said. "The inspection unit at RHIA arrested yesterday the Syrian national A.Q., 28, after he attempted to smuggle 20,000 Captagon pills hidden in eight Abu Jabal tea bags," NNA said. He intended to travel to the Saudi city of Jeddah aboard a Middle East Airlines flight, the agency added. "He was referred to the administrative and judicial law enforcement unit where he confessed to smuggling Captagon pills," NNA said. "He was later detained and referred to the Central Anti-Narcotics Bureau at the request of the relevant judicial authorities," the agency added. |

| #1 As far as I can tell, producing, smuggling, and using captagon is the regional sport. Wikipedia tells us a Saudi princeling was arrested a few years ago for smuggling two tons of the stuff on his personal jet, and all sides manufactured Captagon for sale and personal use during the Syrian conflagration. Mr.A.Q., 28, is a piker — often the arrests involve ton lots of the stuff. |
